Shannon Pawley, The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm Owner, writes about how pre-paying for funeral arrangements ensures last wishes are carried out and how this benefits  family and loved ones.

DECATUR, GA, May ••, 2024: Shannon Pawley, Owner of The Estate & Asset Protection Law Firm, has posted a new article on the law firm’s website entitled “The Value Of Pre-Paying For Burial Or Cremation Services.” Ms. Pawley provides important thoughts to consider when deciding to pre-pay for funeral services.

Pawley points out that, “Many people reference how and where they want to be buried in their will. However,” she adds, “just stating your desires in your will is no guarantee that your wishes will be carried out. There are a multitude of reasons why they may not be.” According to Pawley, “The best way to ensure your burial wishes are abided by is by pre-paying for exactly what you want and making sure your contracts are in a place where your loved ones know where to find them.” She emphasizes, “There is great value for all parties by pre-planning and pre-paying for your burial or cremation well in advance of those events.”

Spare Your Family The Burden Of Making This Important Decision

Pawley encourages her readers to spare their families “the burden of making this important decision.” She continues, “Many people make their funeral wishes part of their estate plans especially when they pre-pay for the arrangements. This relieves their families of having to make this important decision and scrambling to pay for necessary items and services on short notice.”

Pawley makes another important point. She writes, “Thinking ahead is also a way to make more informed and thoughtful arrangements. When pre-paying, you get to choose the specific items you want as well as affording you the luxury to compare the prices offered by funeral providers.” She asks, “Can you imagine having to make these kinds of decisions under pressure and strong emotions?”
